The name’s Bond, James Bond

We’ve been rather busy of late, so I’m a little behind with the blog posts. (If you’re wondering what it was that kept us so busy, visit the blog again later in the week, and there’ll be a post all about it.)

Today’s blog is a combination of two of our recent events, that share a common strand.

Firstly, back in June we performed at a James Bond themed evening for the Venue Cymru Fundraisers and the Llandudno Lions. It was a great chance for us to try something new, and we themed our magic using ideas and music from the James Bond films.

We almost also ended up with a stowaway, when Bernie tried to sneak into one of our bags when we weren’t looking. We managed to persuade him to stay at home, but he wasn’t very happy about it!

At the beginning of July we took part in the North Wales Magic Circle’s annual stage and cabaret competition.

Inspired by the themed show that we’d just done, we put together a new act specially for the competition. The ten minute act used music from the James Bond films as a backdrop to the magic.

Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza 2014 Photographs

We always enjoy the Extravaganza, and this year was brilliant. We performed two shows a day on the Promenade Stage, took part in the daily parade, and did close up magic on the streets.

There’s always somebody on hand with a camera to capture everything that happens at the event, and we thought we’d show you some of the amazing photographs from this year.

Firstly, there’s these images from the official event photographer, Robert Mann. You can view the full set on Flickr, as well as the hundreds of other photographs that he took over the weekend:

Simon Bailey took these wonderful shots:

And Simon’s Photos captured Jay entertaining the bands at the start of the parade:

And what set of photographs would be complete without at least one selfie? Here’s Simon, Jay and Dean enjoying themselves during the parade!
